Exactly what i said about him, he’s a LOSER! A+++
and in the nation’s capitol it’s a fed holiday and only docs and people like that are working : ) Paula hates it because the HOV restrictions and assorted other parking restrictions are lifted and it makes her commute more difficult.

Maybe in Cleveland, Ohio, per an article posted earlier today, but I also read an article posted by a FRiend here a couple of weeks back where the Black community in Chicago was saying that it wouldn't happen......

Then again, I wouldn't put it past some to use it as a last chance to get 'Free Stuff' by breaking glass display windows in streetside shops.....

"South Central" --- the National version ---

Our imperial Reader with his self-styled empyreal attitude declares, "Thou shalt not repeal my healthcare law!" The Constitution is a mere plaything to the Pretender_OTUS, to be disregarded on a whim -- all the while he spends most of his time on the golf course (or chasing male prey as some say). His behavior may repel most decent Americans, but the amoral entitlement class don't care, as long as they get "theirs."

I've been saying from the beginning that Obozo was "The Manchurian Candidate"......

And I called him that to all my friends and acquantences...especially the ones that voted for him......by 2011, one particularly rabid liberal transplanted from "Merry"land to Ohio was bobbing her head in agreement......to bad stupid people can't care enough to get educated before they make their mistakes and make the rest of us pay the price......

She was an insufferable NPR listener......

Yeah, I saw it. I don’t think it lived up to the hype, but it was funny.

I know how she feels. My sister is in banking and gets loads of holiday time, never has to work after dark or on a Sunday, whereas I work most weekends and have worked nights and evenings before because my job demands are 24/7. Holiday? Weekend? What’s that? The kids have fall break on different schedules but the spouse is working and so am I so it’s nothing different.

I think she loved Marc Antonyms cause he looked just like Richard Burton and talked funny.

The Anointed One, godly, empyreal
His fame will be fleeting, ethereal
At debate, his unease
Looked just like a disease
Paralytic, like end-stage venereal

No more calls, we have a winner. We have to put the Imperial Margarine crown on your head.

As for Raj—that’s above my pay grade.

i have been listening to the rock station on my way into work instead of XM and the Obama ads on there are breathtaking! they are def playing to the lowest of the food chain on there. It astounds me how bad they are.

well we choose our career paths and anyone choosing medicine has to be fully cognizant of the fact that nights/weekends/etc are all on the table. If i am not mistaken there are shift differentials for working other than daytime? I have to work whatever schedule it takes to get what i have due done on time.
